It should say lts. or pan. lts If not , you should go through each fuse looking at them to see if they are blown. You didnt say what make model or year you car is, but it could also be a ground. Let me know make model and year

My old ranger did the same . Look under the back end by the tail lights under neath. Chances are that it's a ground wire hanging. They are known for this. But check fuses first. If you take out your tail lights and follow the wires there should be one on each side that is grounded to the chassis. These come loose all the time on rangers.

I have this car it has huge electrical problems. Something in the computer/alternator/etc. I have no speedometer, all my internal lights are screwed up. I've had 2 alternators, a starter and 4 batteries in 2 years. Get rid of it.

Turn the parking lamps or headlamps on in order to illuminate the instrument panel and instrument panel cluster lamps. Voltage applies at all times through the TAIL fuse to the tail relay. Turning the turn signal/headlamp switch to the PARK or the HEAD position provides a ground path to the coil side of the relay to G202. The ground path energizes the coil of the relay. This closes the contacts in the relay. The closed contacts apply voltage to the IP dimmer illumination controller and all the illumination lamps. The illumination lamps are ground through the illumination controller. The controller is located on the left side of the instrument panel. Since the illumination controller is ground to G200, the lamps illuminate when voltage applies. The intensity of the instrument panel and the instrument panel cluster lamps is adjusted by the controller (4). The controller controls the intensity of the lamps by controlling the amount of current from the lamps to ground.Check the tail relay !

It's more likely a fuse is blown, the tail lights are on the same fuse as the dash illumination, check the tail lights if they are not working replace the fuse marked 'tail' in the fuse panel on the inside at the left side of the dash under the cover. At the same time check the 'gauge' fuse', there is a fuse location diagram on the cover.

Power is supplied to the instrument illumination by the "TAIL/ILLUM LIGHT" fuse, Fuse #4 (15 Amp) located in the dash fuse block under the left side of the dash. This fuse provides power for both the primary and secondary sides of the TAIL LIGHT relay. The Combination (Headlamp) switch provides a ground path for the primary circuit of the TAIL LIGHT relay. When the primary circuit is completed by the Combination switch, the secondary contacts close and provide power to the tail lamps as well as to all of the instrument illumination bulbs. The ground for the instrument illumination bulbs is a variable-resistance circuit which is controlled by the illumination controller. The final ground for both the combination switch and the illumination controller is Ground G302, located under the center console.

Although the Mitcell fuse legend does not list it as such, their wiring diagram shows the park lamp relay (which should power up the tail lamps) to be powered by fuse number 38 in the central junction box. 20 amp

This sounds obvious, but first things first. Replace the bulbs, and check the tail lamp fuse. Usually if the tail lamp fuse is blown, your dash illumination will also not work. They put them on the same fuse because you really never see your tail lamps while you are driving, and if your dash lights are out, it will alert you to a problem.
